Snow Removal

Currently the level of service for Daybreak Townhome 1 Owners’ Association is as follows: once the storm has ended or 4" of snow has fallen, the snow removal company will be deployed and will remove snow and ice on your personal driveway, walkway and sidewalks surrounding your townhome and apply calcium chloride (ice melt) as needed. The streets and alleys are cleared by South Jordan City.

 

Once the crews are mobilized, although they are working as quickly as possible, it can take several hours to clear the snow from all 360 townhome units. The crews will begin in a different area of your Association each storm to ensure that someone always has an opportunity to have their snow cleared "first", after priority areas are cleared (school routes).

 

The crews will be using different types of equipment including; plow trucks, atvs, snow blowers and hand shovels. It is important to note you will see the equipment crews at different times. For example; the atv will clear snow from the main walkway around your townhome and the hand shovelers will follow them to clear the snow from your personal walkway. However, the hand shovelers may be an hour behind the atv. Different areas around your townhome will be cleared at different times.

 

In the event that 70% of the budget is used, the Board of Directors will evaluate the level of snow removal service provided and determine if a change is needed. At that time, the Board of Directors may authorize one or more of the following options to reduce the snow removal expense:

Option 1

Deploy the snow removal company at the end of the storm (No depth trigger).

 

Option 2

The Association will no longer remove snow from homeowners' personal walkway to the front or back doors and personal drives. We will continue to remove the snow from the public sidewalks.

 

Option 3

Institute a special assessment to cover the cost of the snow removal service.

 

Should a change in the level of services be implemented, notice will be sent to all owners via email.

City Council Meeting Dates

Hello everyone. At our last board meeting for the Townhome 1 Association there was a lot of discussion about the cost of water in South Jordan. In better efforts to understand the Townhome 1 Association, some members thought it would be beneficial to go to an Open City Council meeting in South Jordan. South Jordan City Council meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month. Meetings are held in the Council Chambers at City Hall (1600 W Towne Center Dr.) and start at 6:00 pm. These meetings are open to the public and we encourage you to attend to discuss the cost of water.

　

The next meeting is scheduled for September 18, 2012 at 6:00 PM at City Hall.

　

Thank you,

Mulch Project

We would like to extend our gratitude to all of the Owners' that volunteered their time to help with our Mulch Replenishment Project that occurred on Friday, July 20, 2012. As the landscape replenishment funds were limited this year, the Landscape Committee and Board of Directors voted to provide mulch to the Townhomes along Harvest Sun and 118th South to install on their personal areas. It was great to see the homeowners come together for this great event and enhance the Community!

A special thanks is extended to Marci Potrich, Mark Hanson, Kelsi Neilson, Addison Averett, Rhett Larsen, Melisa Carsey and Beth Hill for volunteering their time to assist with the common areas!

Finance Committee Update

In our last meeting we reviewed the April financial statements. Second quarter fees were due last month and delinquencies went up to 29%. That is typical when the fees are due and it will decrease by next month, but if you are going through hardship, please work with the management team to get your accounts up-to-date.　

The exterior trim painting projects on Calton, Zephyr, Grandville and Daybreak Rim are nearing completion. The enclosed patio painting on Lake Bridge is finished and under budget. We are now looking into starting some other painting projects along Topview.

Homeowner 101- Insurance

We are excited to announce our next Homeowner 101 topic will be HOA Insurance. This informative event will be held on June 12, 2012 at 6:00 PM at the Daybreak Community Center. Justin Robinson, from the Buckner Company will be discussing HOA Insurance, SB 167, what a townhome owner should insure and other important items.

We hope to see everyone there!

Finance Committee Update

The Finance Committee would like to welcome it's newest member, David Pierce. He has an excellent background in finance and will be a great asset to our committee.

In our last meeting we reviewed the March financial statements. Bad news first. With the snow storms we had in March, we ended up going over our snow removal budget for the month and the year. As of March, we have 13.56% of our homeowners delinquent on their accounts. While that is down over 7% from February, it can always go lower! We understand that there are many homeowners going through hard times, please work with the management team to get your accounts up-to-date.

Here's some good news! We will be finishing the exterior trim painting projects on Calton, Zephyr, Grandville, Lake Falls and Daybreak Rim. We will also be starting the enclosed patio painting on Lake Bridge this Summer! We'd also like to welcome our new maintenance man Luis. He is working for all the sub-associations to help repairs and general maintenance get done quicker. Yea!!

The Landscape Committee has been formed and will be walking through the association to prioritize landscape repairs and enhancements. They will also determine a future maintenance schedule for the Finance Committee to review so an appropriate budget can be established to get our homes looking good again.

An Audit Schedule resolution will be presented to the Board of Directors for review and approval. This resolution is to ensure an audit will be completed, by a professional accountant, at least every 3 years, so we will be having an audit done next year.

Watch for the next update the third week of May. Also, make a note that the next Open Board meeting is May 22 at 7pm at the DCC.

Message From Your President

Here we are starting the New Year with a new budget and we are doing so much better than last year at this time. Minimal snow removal expense, mainly ice maintenance. This is not great for skiers but is great for our new 2012 budget! This is the first time in a long time that I was happy that we did not have a White Christmas.

Our first Board of Directors meeting started with a filling two vacancies. We had 5 candidates this year that wanted to help make decisions with us. We appreciate all those who applied and their desire to serve on the board. It is not always a pleasant experience and decisions are not always popular, but everyone on the Board is dedicated to making the right decision for the future of the Association.

Our Board for 2012 is:

Michele Hodgkins, President

Joni Lusty, Treasurer
Rhett Larsen, Secretary
Rulon Dutson, Member at Large
Mark Hanson, Member at Large
Joshua Massey, Member at Large

Our Board Meeting in February will be an Open Meeting and hopefully you will mark February 29 at 6:00 PM on your calendar. It will be held on the second floor of the Community Center.

At this meeting, we will discuss the Reserve Study completed on our homes the end of last year. This study is mandated by the state and is to be updated every two years. It is designed to project how much and when large maintenance items will be needed on our buildings. Find out how much we have in our reserves now. Are we ready for painting, roof repairs, concrete repairs, and approximately when do we project we will need to spend the money? How do our reserves compare to other Associations in the State? How might our reserve balance affect us when we are ready to sell or refinance our homes? Do we need to start saving more and if so how much? Many questions for the Board to discuss and we need you to be aware of the questions we are addressing as the answers will not only affect you now but in the coming years.

This year, we will be asking residents to turn in questions that they want to have answered at the meeting by the morning of February 28. The Board needs time to research the correct and best answer to your question. Those who are in attendance are welcome to ask questions as well, but we may need to defer your answer for a day or two for research. We are also going to be handing out some information for you on who to call and their phone numbers-in the Association as well as at South Jordan. When we have a problem between meetings, we want to be able to avoid frustration by contacting the right person.

Michele Hodgkins, President
